Answer is: the average atomic mass 217.606 amu.

Ar₁= 203.973 amu; the average atomic mass of isotope.

Ar₂ = 205.9745 amu.

Ar₃ = 206.9745 amu.

Ar₄ = 207.9766 amu.

ω₁ = 1.40% = 0.014; mass percentage of isotope.

ω₂ = 24.10% = 0.241.

ω₃ = 22.10% = 0.221.

ω₄ = 57.40% = 0.574.

Ar = Ar₁ · ω₁+ Ar₂ · ω₂ + Ar₃ · ω₃ + Ar₄ · ω₄.  

Ar = 203.973 amu · 0.014 + 205.9745 amu · 0.241 + 206.9745 amu · 0.221 + 207.9766 amu · 0.574.

Ar = 2.855 amu + 49.632 amu + 45.741 amu + 119.378 amu.

Ar = 217.606 amu.

But abundance of isotopes is greater than 100%.

It should be lead, with the fourth isotope weighs 207.9766 amu and an abundance of 52.40.
